Default Where can I buy a sway bar kit for my xB??

I've been searching and reading all day and still can't figure out who to buy a sway bar kit from. I must have selective blindness.

Thanx everyone for the input. I called every distributor on Hotchkis' list, and indeed the guys at Carson Toyota had the best deal. The parts are still about 7-10 days out, but the price shipped to my door was only $184. :D

It seems like the Hotchkis sways are out of stock/back ordered. Does any of our sponsors have them in stock right now and how much? Appreciate feedback.

You are correct, they got slammed when they came out and they did noproduce enough.
They should have them rollin out by next week or so.

I've been waiting for my Hotchkis sways since February!

I was also told that Hotchkis had them on back order production but that they would have them available last week. I've called my dealer several times but haven't gotten any word that he's been able to locate them from a supplier yet. I'm worried that those who are just putting in their orders for xBs with the sway bar option have been placed ahead of me on the wait list because, after all, they already got my money! Of course, I could be jumping to wrong conclusions.

Also, I heard there was a worldwide shortage of steel so that might account for the delays in getting these things made, especially if there isn't a huge supply of them already in the market.

Stay tuned...

I called Hotchkis about a month ago and they said that they were just way behind on production. They said that they were working overtime shifts every day to catch up.
